It's BS how world of tanks puts the tiger in tier VII against the IS even though th IS was made way later to COUNTER the tigers, because they're kv was sort-off obsolete against it
and how the tier VI M36_ slugger_ (not ****** 'jackson') is a tier lower than the tiger even tohugh it was ALSO designed to destroy tigers,
even the WoT description says it FFS!

Not really. the IS wasnt built for anti tank fighting. The Soviets left that up to artillery,rocket artillery,and tank destroyers.
Sure the IS-122 could penetrate the panther and the tiger,but it made a wonderful breakthrough tank

The SU=152 was more than capable of blowing the superstructure off of the Ferdinand. Given they could hit it.

And the Tiger is fine where it is,all the tanks in its tiers were whati t fought. Hellcat,Slugger,Shermans,T-34-76//85 JS-2/KB-2

It just perceived sucks because the devs have artificially nerfed the **** out of the 88mm guns. The Short 88 L/56 was known to punch a nice clean hole front to back of a Sherman or T-34.

if the devs were smart,and not drunk/high(Because SerB usually is) they would use nation specific penetration tables. German for German,American for American,USSR for USSR etc. The Germans didn't count if the shell didn't fully penetrate(in the case of APBCHE shells,penetrating and exploding behind the plate). Soviets passed if at least 75% of the shell made it through I think.

Also,the Soviets get way too many advantages in Tanks. While the IS-7 would be godly if it were allowed to be historically accurate,many tanks perform much better then they could in RL. *shrugs* its a russian game,they have to have them be a badass for once.

Thing is, When they had the tigers, the american's M10 wolverine turned out obsolete, so they designed the M36 slugger (OR they gave it the 90mm M3) that's what the WoT discription says, M36 is tier VI Tiger's tier VII.
Chinese tanks are also completly out of the time boat in the game (Type-T34 same tier as T-34, M5A1 same tier as M5 (can still live with this),IS-2 same tier as IS(also acceptable)
But they shoudl've put those tanks in their origional makers, not in the ****** chinese ones!

M10 could penetrate the panther and the tiger with HVAP shells. TD companies got first serve on HVAP shells.
TDs are also weighted 2 tiers higher then they are.

The Chinese had their own tanks,but they were so crappy(look at the Chi-Ha) that it was easier to import and modernize them. They have their own advances,the Type -34 is slightly better due to wider tracks but those tanks area ll modernized/modified to suit the Chinese need.

M5A1 is the modernized variant that used the 45mm with HV shells.

IS-2 is the modernized final variant of the IS. the Soviets get an IS1/2 hybrid(IS 2 turret IS hull)

Type -34 is a hybrid using many parts from later tanks to upgrade it,it has the T-54/55 suspension and I think the engine as well.or a much newer version of the engine as the Soviets had a hard time with engine reliability in the T-34
